[Intro]
Cold air, bus doors, borough waking up
One missed call and a paper cup
You said, “Move quick,” so I’m already gone
No rear-view glance when the pressure comes on
[Verse 1]
Rain on the railings, shoes on the stairs
Your name in my phone but nobody there
I learned every shortcut behind the estate
Now the whole town’s humming at quarter to eight
You keep one promise folded in your coat
I keep my nerve when the floorboards shake
No grand parade, no silver screen
Just a hard-earned plan and a head full of steam
[Pre-Chorus]
If the door stays shut, we find another way
If the night runs long, we make it to the day
[Chorus]
Run it up, don’t let it slip
Hands held high while the whole room flips
We came too far to turn around
Feet hit hard when the bass comes down
Run it up, let the pressure break
Take what’s ours, no more time to wait
From the back-row seats to the front-line sound
We came alive when the bass came down
[Verse 2]
Red on the crossing, green on the sign
You said, “This moment could be yours or mine”
I saw your face in the window glass
A little less fear than the week that passed
No borrowed crown and no polished speech
Just something real that the hands can reach
When the first train groans and the shutters rise
We put the doubt where the old dust lies
[Pre-Chorus]
If the door stays shut, we find another way
If the night runs long, we make it to the day
[Chorus]
Run it up, don’t let it slip
Hands held high while the whole room flips
We came too far to turn around
Feet hit hard when the bass comes down
Run it up, let the pressure break
Take what’s ours, no more time to wait
From the back-row seats to the front-line sound
We came alive when the bass came down
[Bridge]
Hold tight, breathe in
One spark under the skin
No fear, step through
The next move starts with you
[Final Chorus]
Run it up, don’t let it slip
Hands held high while the whole room flips
We came too far to turn around
Feet hit hard when the bass comes down
Run it up, let the pressure break
Take what’s ours, no more time to wait
From the back-row seats to the front-line sound
We came alive when the bass came down
[Outro]
No rear-view glance, no slowing down
We found our feet when the bass came down
